Encora™ is a patented formulation indicated to provide calcium, essential fatty acids, folic acid and other vitamins and minerals for daily nutritional and health supplementation.
This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B 12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 1.0 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
Allergy Alert: This product contains soy.
Do not exceed recommended dosage. The calcium content should be considered before prescribing for patients with kidney stones. Encora™ should be used with caution in patients with known sensitivity or allergy to fish.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
Clinical studies of this product did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, relfecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
